The Case for AlignmentCopyright 2012

Employee engagement is a vital part of HR strategy and helps the organisation fulfil its aims and objectives.

The Case for AlignmentCopyright 2012

The objectives of the organisation, whether these may be to increase the product/service range, enhance customer service, ensure flexibility in provision, should be translated into HR and employee engagement plans. 

The Case for AlignmentCopyright 2012

HR strategy focuses on the long term development of the organisation through reconciling this with the long term development of the human resources within the organisation.

The Case for AlignmentCopyright 2012

One of the key aims of strategic HR is the need to ensure integration between:

1. HR strategies and the business strategies (vertical integration)

2. The various HR strategies that contribute to overall business strategy

Discuss in relation to your own organisations giving examples!

The Case for AlignmentCopyright 2012

The MacLeod review 2010 For the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) on employeeengagement further highlighted these principles by identifying enablers of bestpractice which include Strategic narrative that explains where the organisation is going and why,and which helps employees understand how their role contributes to this Engaging managers who motivate, challenge and support their people,treating employees as individuals and seeking and responding to their views Employee voice, which ensures employees in all areas are involved indecision-making within the organisation Organisational integrity, so that there is clear alignment between stated valuesand actual behaviours https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2GUI5r09g0
